DREAM-TIMERS

The following images are from a shoot titled "My Space" that was published in the February 2010 edition of Interview Magazine.

Photographer Craig McDean shot Sasha Pivovarova wearing an explosion of colourful and dyed garments and accessories styled by Karl Templer in an incredible graffiti ridden location.

The shoot itself is riddled with pastel tones, childlike scribbles, exuberant body language, transparent textures and oh so much more to write home about.

There is no doubt about it, this is what my dreams are made of...

DECEPTIVE MOTHS

The butterflies are in my face,
To make sure that I don't erase,
The memory of outer space,
That I now know I must not chase,

The butterflies are in my head,
I block them out until they're dead,
Though when I put my mind to bed,
They linger in my dreams instead,

The butterflies are in my eyes,
Blocking views of pastel skies,
And hopeless thoughts of a demise,
Or erasure of all the lies.

by Me.

MR COHEN, IS THIS IT?

THIS IS IT by Leonard Cohen

This is it
I'm not coming after you
I'm going to lie down for half an hour
This is it
I'm not going down
on your memory
I'm not rubbing my face in it any more
I'm going to yawn
I'm going to stretch
I'm going to put a knitting needle
up my nose
and poke out my brain
I don't want to love you
for the rest of my life
I want your skin
to fall of my skin
I want my clamp
to release your clamp
I don't want to live
with this tongue hanging out
and another filthy song
in the place
of my baseball bat
This is it
I'm going to sleep now darling
Don't try to stop me
I'm going to sleep
I'll have a smooth face
and i'm going to drool
I'll be asleep
whether you love me or not
This is it
The New World Order
of wrinkles and bad breath
It's not going to be
like it was before
eating you
with my eyes closed
hoping you won't get up
and go away
It's going to be something else
Something worse
Something sillier
Something like this
only shorter

ASTROTURFAHOLICS ANONYMOUS

Today was a fabulous day. My second best friend Chloe picked me up at lunch time, we ate left over pizza, then headed to Belmont in WA to pull apart the opshops.

On the way, we had to make a quick pit stop at the local Astroturf centre to order some turf for an installation that Chloe's working on. On the way out of the centre, we noticed a huge dumpster full of offcuts of super high quality astroturf. We loaded our arms full of the stuff and headed back to Chloe's car to dump it in the boot. When we got to the car, we looked at each other, and both knew that what we had taken was not enough. We were turning into Astroturfaholics, so we jumped in the car, drove back to the dumpster and pulled out every last little bit of turf and shoved it into the car. Apart from the fact that we looked like complete lunatics, we had a LOT of fun.

Then we went opshopping, which was, as always in Perth, the best thing we could have done. So many bargains to be had.

I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
BUT DO YOU?
I MUST KNOW

I WANT YOU
I WANT YOU
I WANT YOU
TO KNOW
MY HEART SUNG
MY HEART SUNG
MY HEART SUNG
IN THE SUN
IT WAS YOU
AND ME TOO
MINUS YOU
IS IT TRUE?
IT IS ME
AND ME
AND ME
YOU'LL SEE.

HOLY SHISH MANISH

I don't really have the mind to say anything important right now, but if you haven't heard of Indian designer Manish Arora, i suggest you immediately head straight to his website below. He's been around for years, though only over the past two years has he gained huge international recognition for his wacked out ultra-imaginative designs.

He's up there on my death list, put it that way.

BODY SWAP

"Dear, dear! how queer everything is today!
And yesterday everything happened just as usual: I wonder if I was changed in the night?
Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning?
I think I remember feeling rather different.
But if I’m not the same, who in the world am I?
Ah, that’s the great puzzle!"

Lewis Carroll was a complete a space cadet!

DEAD STUFF

I'm currently on vacation in Perth, just relaxing and visiting friends who live here. After being in Sydney for so long, it really makes me appreciate this big ol' country town. It's so far from the east coast of Australia and, in comparison, so baron and empty.

Yesterday i went to the Western Australian Museum with a friend to look at dead animals and insects. The insects are the most intriguing, the fact that they are so small and still in such perfect condition (without being squashed i mean). My friend said that they suffocate them, so as to not tamper with their natural state, an awful thought.... what if they were claustrophobic? Murder.

My favourite was probably the mice pinned to the diagram on the wall... straight from the lab. Oh, and the last picture (which i think is a baby north-west blower fish) looks like a shriveled old penis with eyes and a mouth.

Oh, and we also found this lovely lady, i guess she was never dead nor alive, but she had total babe alert style.
